Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 223 It's finally my turn, Li Yuanfang, to deliver the book

"Further westward, you will find Kangyanchuan, the former capital of my Subi king."

"That yurt is where Ruben is."

Speeding up all the way, the three of Li Yan came to Sun Boru's important place.

In addition to bringing Yang Zaiwei and keeping his eyes on him for a moment, Li Yan also went back to the palace, asked the concubine to write a letter, and asked Zhudan to bring it over.

This palace guard is the spokesperson of the princess outside, and she can save a lot of time if she comes forward.

But after leaving Weiru, when he came to Sun Boru's area, what he saw was desolation.

It's like the hard walls and clearing the fields during the Great War. All the people living outside disappeared, leaving only barren fields.

Li Yan's heart sank at that time.

If Sun Boru was in such a miserable situation, why would he talk about borrowing troops?

Fortunately, what he had learned told him that the first-line area of ​​Shigatse controlled by Sun Boru was the main food production area of ​​Tubo in this era.

At least half of the Qinling army's food was provided here when they were fighting abroad.

In the process of Tubo unifying the plateau, swallowing Subi was a key step.

Just like when Daqin got the land of Bashu and built Dujiangyan, the supply of food and grass suddenly became richer.

Sure enough, as they went deeper, they saw more and more farming fields and grazing cattle and sheep along the way.

When they arrived not far from the Ruben tent, they saw groups of armored soldiers patrolling in order.

Yang Zaiwei sneered and said: "Sun Boru is rich in life, and he is not withered. He has been suppressed like this, and he is not against him?"

Zhu Dan subconsciously wanted to refute, but seeing Yang Zaiwei's ferocity, thinking that this is a murderous assassin, he became cowardly again, and said weakly in Su Pi's words: "You are easy to say, we are just a piece of land, How to reverse?"

Yang Zaiwei couldn't understand Su Pi's dialect, and stared at him: "What are you muttering about!"

Li Yan gave him a cold look: "Shut up! Guard Zhudan, someone is here, go and explain the situation to them."

A group of female soldiers galloped over on horseback, and the headed burly female general hugged Zhudan, obviously very familiar with her.

When Zhudan took out the letter from the concubine, she suddenly became solemn, looked at Li Yan and Yang Zaiwei carefully, and made an invitation gesture.

Li Yan entered the barracks and observed carefully.

Sun Boru's armored soldiers are still dominated by men, only the personal guards are usually female soldiers.

Although the equipment is far from that of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, their eyesight, temperament, and walking behavior are still well-trained and worthy of use.

Traveling all the way, everyone came to the felt tent where Ru Ben was.

From the outside, this felt tent looks huge and gorgeous, but when you enter the inside, you find that you can't see everything at a glance. Instead, there are many curtains hanging down, layer upon layer, like a maze.

At the same time, there was a cloudy smell that could not be identified as Western Region spices or human sweat. It was obvious that the air was not circulating, and it was inevitable that there were servants coming in and out. It was very unpleasant.

Li Yan frowned.

I thought it was entering the daughter country, but it turned out to be Pansi Cave?

Yang Zaiwei is a professional, and he saw something strange at a glance: "This is to prevent assassination!"

Zhu Dan explained: "The lineage of princesses is often assassinated, and this is a last resort, and this custom is common among nobles in Tubo, and it can also show the wealth of the master's family."

It was really as she said, when the crowd turned around and came to Ruben, what they saw was an old woman sitting among gorgeous gold and silver ornaments.

The female general and Zhu Dan immediately stepped forward to salute: "Ruben!"

Yang Zaiwei squinted and sneered, while Li Yan took out the Tang Jing Jie and bowed his head as a salute: "The envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanfang, has seen Mo Nong Ruben."

Seeing Jingjie, the old woman was a little dazed at first, then realized something, her face changed slightly, and she stood up flexibly to salute: "I have seen the messenger of Heavenly Khan!"

With the blessing of the years, she did not need a translator, and she also recognized the identity of the visitor.

It's just that the name is a bit interesting, the messenger of God Khan.

It has been more than [-] years since Li Shimin died, but many foreigners around the Tang Dynasty still recognize his prestige, not the emperor Li Zhi.

Not to mention the present, this has been the case since the Wu Zhou period in history.

Of course, prestige belongs to prestige, for Li Yan's arrival, Ru Ben respectfully and vigilantly said, "I don't know if the messenger of Khan is here, what's the matter?"

Li Yan smiled, and said to Zhudan: "Guardian Zhudan, tell Mo Nong Ruben about the situation in the palace first."

After Zhu Dan translated, Ru Ben's vigilance remained undiminished, but he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with the princess?"

Zhu Dan presented the letter, and after Ru Ben opened it, he read it carefully.

Back then, the Subi Kingdom was governed by queens and daughters. There were two queens in one country and two government teams.

This kind of administrative system is impossible without internal fighting. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Everyone wants to take more.

Later, the country was subjugated, and the two bloodlines of the big and small princesses were completely resolved.

Now the concubine does not belong to the Lu family and belongs to the line of the little princess, and the Ruben Mo Nong family belongs to the line of the great princess, one is a concubine in the central government, and the other is in power at the local level, and they are often in contact.

If Zanpu is in power, can give orders, and the princess is favored, this kind of cooperation is actually very good.

But Zanpu's power is another matter. They struggled to survive and managed to maintain it.

At this time, after reading the letter, Ru Ben's eyes flickered slightly, and he was concerned about Zanpu's body: "Is your majesty in good health?"

Zhu Dan thought that he was looking for a way to deodorize, but he said: "The king has just recovered from a long illness, although he was assassinated by the thieves and occasionally lost his voice, but everything else is fine, and he can still compete with the imperial guards and win the support of the army!"

Ru Ben couldn't believe it, the change was too big, he asked tentatively: "The establishment of the post of censor was carried out by the king?"

Zhu Dan said: "Exactly, the position of censor was inspired by the king from the Tang Dynasty. Except for some thieves who conspired to usurp power, Wu Ru's feedback is very good."

Ru Ben nodded: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After asking a lot of details, Ru Ben had an idea, and then looked at Li Yan: "Thank you, envoy Li, for helping the king and the princess!"

Li Yan went straight to the point: "You don't need to say thank you, I'm here to discuss something important."

Ru Ben said seriously, "Envoy Li, please tell me."

Li Yandao: "In my Tang Dynasty, there is a place in the south of the Yangtze River, rich in food and rich in culture. Before that, Jiangnan was marginalized due to the dictatorship of treacherous ministers. Fortunately, the sages were wise enough to be treated fairly."

"You, Sun Boru, are the same. You obviously contributed a lot to Tubo, but you have been suppressed a lot. Not only Weiru from the central government, but also the other three Rus are secretly working together to curb your development."

"This situation was originally difficult to break, but now that Zanpu is wise and appointed as the censor, he has the support of Siru, and Qinling withdraws his troops privately for the sake of the family's self-interest, causing Siru to suffer a loss."

"This is the best time for you, Sun Boru, to change the situation. If you miss this opportunity, you will always be exploited in Tubo!"

These words were so straightforward that Zhu Dan was terrified by the translation, and Ru Ben's face changed drastically when he heard it, and he said dryly: "Then I don't know what envoy Li is going to do?"

Li Yan unfolded the map, pointed to the tunnel where the family members of the hidden guards were located above, and said, "The Gar family kidnapped a large number of Sun Bo women and distributed them to their killers and spies. This is where they are located. This is extremely humiliating. "

"I heard that the Gar family was originally your retainer slave household. After taking refuge in Tubo, they helped Tubo destroy Subi."

"It's the same as Su Hegui in Tuyuhun. The traitors of the country are punished by everyone. It's a pity that the Gar family has become popular now. Instead, they are in charge of power and giving orders!"

Ruben opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, because this was the truth.

Li Yan continued: "Now the position of your master and servant has been reversed. As the lineage of the queen and daughter, you have to bow down to obey the orders of the slaves. Mo Nong Ruben, please forgive me, the other retainers under your command will not have Do you want to follow suit? If the prestige of the queen and daughter's line plummets, even Ruben's position will be handed over to other retainers for your descendants in the future!"

These words were too embarrassing, Ru Ben's complexion became ugly, and he took a deep breath: "It seems that envoy Li is really familiar with the internal affairs of our clan. Do you want to follow what the envoy Wang did in the past and use the words Recruiting troops to attack the Gar family?"

It was less than thirty years since Wang Xuance destroyed the country, and this Sun Boru was obviously very impressed.

Back then, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty escaped in blood, wrote a proclamation with a pen, recruited troops everywhere, turned around, and smashed the Tianzhu army until the country was destroyed. What a majestic and shocking experience!
But afterward, Wang Xuance patted his ass and went back to Datang, and the disputes left behind continued for a long time.

So Ruben used Wang Xuance as an example, it was definitely not a good intention.

Li Yan shook his head resolutely: "As soon as the proclamation comes out, it will force Guiru to advance and not retreat, leaving no room for it. I will not do it."

"I came here this time to set things right, suppress the arrogance of the Gar family, rescue these poor women, and let the power of Tubo return to the hands of Zanpu, who has a good relationship with me in Tang Dynasty!"

"As for you, Sun Boru, there is only one name for sending troops this time, and that is to rescue the abducted woman of the same clan. This is only right and proper, and you have Zanpu's permission. Who can question it?"

Ruben showed a moved face, staring carefully at this unique emissary of Tian Khan.

Li Yan also looked at the old Ruben.

Young people are aggressive and dare to fight hard, while old people have nostalgia and reminisce about their glory.

The most fearful thing is middle age, when Su Pi was born, his country had already perished, he couldn't feel the glory of the past, and he didn't have the energy of youth, so he just let it go.

Now that Ruben is old, he prescribes the right medicine and said in a slow tone: "Mo Nong Ruben, do you know that Tuyuhun is about to return to the country?"

Ru Ben's pupils contracted, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning: "Many countries perished in the Tang Dynasty, and the example of restoring the country, sorry for being ignorant, I have never heard of any of them."

Li Yandao: "Not before, doesn't mean there won't be in the future."

"Tuyuhun was invaded and destroyed by Tubo. I, the sages of the Tang Dynasty, deeply regretted it. The designation of King Murong Khan as the lord of Qinghai is exactly the intention of advocating the restoration of the country. Otherwise, how can there be any reason to be the lord of Qinghai?"

"And this time the Qinling Mausoleum retreated from the old land of Tuyuhun, and our Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty arrived. Could it be that Tuyuhun can't restore the country?"

Listening to his eloquent words, and looking at the banner in his hand representing Emperor Tang, Ru Ben fell silent, and her heart beat inexplicably faster.

Li Yan's tone is full of confidence: "Of course, food needs to be eaten at one bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step. It's too early to talk about that now. Please Ruben first look at the situation of Tuyuhun's restoration of the country, and then talk about other things?"

Ru Ben nodded involuntarily: "Not bad! Not bad! Let's look at Tuyuhun first!"

If Tuyuhun can restore the country, then maybe her Su Pi can also...

Li Yan smiled slightly, beckoned, and asked Zhu Dan to present the book he had prepared: "This "Da Tang Western Regions Records" is written by Master Xuanzang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty. Ruben might as well take a look at Su Pi's situation."

Ru Ben stepped forward and took it respectfully: "Thank you for the gift of envoy Li."

Finally it was his turn to deliver the book.

Not to mention, it tastes pretty good.

Li Yan bowed his head and saluted: "Then I won't disturb Ruben's discussion, let's leave!"

He took Yang Zaiwei away, and Ru Ben flipped through "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", and found that the book had already been translated into Tubo, which was exactly what Zhu Niang and others did in the palace.

Ru Ben looked at Subi's special offering, and his cloudy eyes gradually became moist.

She didn't even know that her home country was so awesome.

Look at Sun Boru again today...

Thinking of the changes in Zanpu, the retreat of Qinling, the majesty of the Tang envoy, and the major events that have happened recently.

The queen of yesterday's princess showed determination on her old face, the wrinkles on her face stretched out, and she said in a deep voice:
"Mobilize the guards and recruit the heads of thousands of households to discuss the matter!"

　Thanks to the book friend "dxy Xiaoyun" for the rewards, and thanks to the book friend "You are not alone upstairs", "There is a Taoist priest who writes sharing eyes", "Tianjing Huntian Baojian", "Ye Moqian", "Mie Ren" reward.
